I just skim-read this, but it's funny. An article about reviewers who give classic books 1 star on amazon. Example:

"I didn't like this book because it was boring. That's all that needs to be said. It was very very very very very very very very very very very boring. If you have to read this book shoot yourself first."

That's a review of the Diary of Anne Frank.

This is when I realize I am a book snob and simultaneously when the thought of these kids being the leaders of tomorrow absolutely terrifies me...

lol I think in most cases it's just personal taste.
